This is a fun game. good job bro <3

Submitted

Great game, i played many times but i cannot beat 12 levels, is really hard but also really fun

Good entry!

Submitted

Loved it. The later levels are difficult!!  I kinda wish there were more bugs involved that just the beetles, but still cool overall.

The "GAME OVER"  sound effect caught me off guard, haha.

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback :) I do plan to add more variety in bugs and weapons based on the feedback received here.

Thanks a lot for playing and the feedback ! I plan to add more guns and enemies to allow for different play styles , and plan to fine tune the spawning locations as well.

Holy moly that was intense! I love top down shooters ;) Great job!

I really like the game feel and overall the controls are a very nice base for a full game. I think to make it a full game you would only need a few minimal additions. You could add a boss every once in a while that would reward a new gun or something which could aid in keeping progression feeling fresh and new. And/or you could make the player controller explore a larger multi-roomed environment. This could very quickly turn into a full game.

Thanks a lot for playing and these encouraging words :) A boss fight + more weapons are definitely good additions. The idea of having a larger mutli-roomed environment also seems like a sensible direction to move to introduce much needed variability in play styles and enemies.

Submitted

Good execution of a simple concept. Many commenters say the next thing to add is variety, but before you do that, make it so enemies don't spawn next to the player.

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback. I will look into fine tuning spawning in the next iteration :) 

Submitted

Pretty fun shooter game, though I would have appreciated the spawning of enemies/shooting from enemies to a bit more varied. Getting hit by one bullet is ok, but in the later stages, getting hit by 9 or 10 bullets all at the same time takes out a major chunk of HP. Other than what's already said in the comments, this is a fun game.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing ! Yes, I plan on adding more guns and enemy types to have some variety of enemies and encourage different playstyles. Thanks for the suggestion :) 

Submitted

This is a fun game. It's simple obviously, but fun either way. Pretty polished too! Good job.

Developer

Thanks for playing :) 

Submitted

I'm not one for shooting games, but I liked how you added in the bugs for the theme.

Developer

Thanks for playing ! 

Submitted

Fun to play, and reminds me of top-down parts of Super C or Smash TV! The music was driving, and the graphics were good.

As far as feedback, I don't have anything to add other than what's already said in previous comments.

Nice work!

Developer

Thanks for playing ! I was aiming for a Smash TV kind of look :) 

Submitted

Smooth gameplay, neat graphics and punchy soundtrack. Additional enemy types (especially bug-themed) and power ups in later waves will help to improve the longevity

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback. I am planning to add a shop system with more weapons and some more bug types for enemies. Maybe a boss fight with a giant bug to top it off :p 

Submitted

Cool! Reminds of some of the top down levels in Super C from the old NES.

Developer

Thanks for playing ! I was aiming for exactly old school NES kind of look :) 

Submitted

I was so close to beating the game!

The gameplay in general was really fun but perhaps would benefit from varied shooting times. Or perhaps more variety in enemies. 

I really liked the gun SFX, it was so satisfying to shoot!

Overall very well made!

Developer

Hi, Thanks for playing. With a few more tries, you will definitely beat it :) Nice suggestions about enemies. I am panning to add more weapons (maybe a shop system to buy weapons from points) and new types of enemy bugs. 

Submitted

Got to wave 11 on the first try! I don't know if it was an intended feature, but it really helped that the gunmen fired one shot at the exact same time. Gave me some time to dodge and plan. Solid game that I could play for more than 12 waves if i had some time to kill :)

Developer(+1)

Wave 11 on first try is really impressive ! It took me a few tries to finish this :P The shooting at the same time was a design decision I made to encourage the player to use the crates to hide and plan out attacks. You were spot on in your strategy ! 

Submitted

I was able to reach around wave 9 after a few play-throughs but it was still a fairly fun experience. If I put more time into your game, I'd definitely beat wave 12. Good job on making a good game!

Developer

Thanks for playing ! Yeah the game does get a little tough in the end, but with a few tries, you can definitely make it :) 

Submitted

This was well made and fun! I liked how it started off being easy, and then increased in difficulty. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing :) I am happy you enjoyed the game ! 

Submitted

Pretty good difficulty scaling. I think once you get to a certain level, there should be shield and health boosts on every level, but it's definitely doable the way it is now. An approachable amount of panic once you get to 10+. Pretty solid altogether!

Developer

Thanks for playing. You are not the only one facing difficulty spikes. I am thinking of doing something like you suggested to reduce the difficulty a tad bit in the later levels. Thanks ! 

Submitted

Fun little shooter game to try to get past all the waves. Was a bit hard getting past level 10 due to the small space plus cluster of enemies spawning near the player and instantly shooting.

Developer

Thanks for playing ! I am glad you had fun. Yeah it does get a difficult in the later levels, maybe I will adjust the difficulty spike.
